4.2 Emergency Power

If the internal batteries are depleted and you cannot access the safe, you can provide temporary power using the USB-C port. Connect a USB-C cable to the port and a power source (e.g., power bank, wall adapter). This will temporarily power the keypad and fingerprint sensor, allowing you to open the safe and replace the internal batteries.

4.3 Mute Mode

The safe features a mute mode for silent operation. Refer to your detailed user manual for specific instructions on how to activate or deactivate this feature.

5. Security Features

The included steel cable can be used to secure the safe to a stationary object, preventing unauthorized removal.

1. Unscrew the cap from one end of the steel cable.
2. Loop the cable around a secure, immovable object (e.g., car seat frame, bedpost).
3. Feed the unscrewed end of the cable through the loop.
4. Insert the unscrewed end into the designated cable port on the safe (usually on the side or back).
5. Screw the cap back onto the cable end from inside the safe, securing it in place.
